About the restaurant

Crafted out of sheer Westside flair and a nineteen year trajectory, Thyme Restaurant is a concept reimagined by a couple of couples with an affinity for food, wine and our beautiful Upper Westside neighborhood. It took laughter, conversation and lots of emotion, over many dinners to evolve this coveted space to what you see now. As you dine with us, surround yourself with our fine casual atmosphere amongst friends, family, food, wine, music, art and culture and let your conversations evolve. Thank you for helping us preserve this gem in our beloved neighborhood.

About the restaurant

October 16, 1909-For the first time in their country’s history, American President William H. Taft and Mexican President Porfirio Díaz met for a summit in the El Paso-Juarez border; the land commonly known as El Chamizal. Flags were lowered and the borderland remained neutral territory.

A traditional, conservative luncheon was hosted by President Taft at the El Paso Chamber of Commerce followed by an opulent dinner served and presented by President Díaz in the Old Federal Customs building in Juarez. Private discussions were had and agreements were made.

TAFT DÍAZ serves as a testament that great things can flourish when you welcome others at your table.

About the restaurant

Born in a family with a passion for Gastronomy and Oenology, we opened our first French Wine Bistro, Cepage[s], in Notting Hill, London in 2014. Driven by the success of Cepage[s], my father Felix Cohen, who lives in Grenoble (French Alpes), came with the idea to open an authentic french cuisine restaurant in El Paso. Our concept is to create a cozy atmosphere, featuring delicious bistro style sharable appetizers and classic popular dishes from diverse regions in France paired with a great selection of wines and cocktails. Our name, Entrecôte, is a very popular Ribeye Steak dish served in bistros and specialty restaurant in France. We are very exited to start this new adventure and offer a unique experience to El Pasoans and visitors from out of town.

Excellent food and service. My wife and shared the Garlic Mushrooms as an appetizer, a small House Salad, for our entree we had a 10oz Filet Mignon and and a baked potato. For dessert we had the Tres Leches with fresh fruit on top. All for $56!
